I have not found this in the documentation. Guess I was just blind. I just read again and ... well what can I say ;-)

> Many bigger companies use Kerberos Authentication. When used on Webservers this usually means that the server uses the Spnego Protocoll to negotiate with the client which authentication to use. 
> So Httpclient should support the Spnego protocoll together with Kerberos authentication to authenticate against this class of webservers.
> The spring security project with it´s kerberos extension already supports the spnego and kerberos protocol on the server side. The source code shows how the authentication is done on the server side and will surely help to implement the client part.
